...Term for Tea? In Marion Hume's otherwise interesting article on tea tourism, a photograph of a table set for tea bears the caption, "A table is prepared for high tea" [Sept. 15]. The photo clearly shows a table set for afternoon tea. High tea is a British term for an entirely different meal that includes cold meats, salads and much heartier fare and which is served around 6 p.m. in lieu of dinner. Afternoon tea is served around 3 p.m. and is accompanied by scones, jam and cake and sometimes small sandwiches. Janice Leach, Mill Valley, California...

There's a photograph of Cameron with Boris Johnson, London's patrician mayor, and other Bullingdon members in their toffy getup, taken a year before the Cliveden trip and widely reprinted in the British press last year.

...most Chinese media were celebrating Beijing's Olympics successes, a magazine named Southern Window - a highbrow biweekly with a circulation of 500,000 - broke from the pack. On the cover of the magazine's Aug. 11 issue, there is no photograph of the sparkling Bird's Nest stadium, no triumphant Chinese athlete fondling one of the country's 51 gold medals. Instead, there is an illustration of law textbooks and a teacher with a wooden pointer giving instruction to a businessman and a government official. The cover line: "Rule of Law Starts with Limitation of Power." Sounds boring? In China...
